Urgent,
If plaintiff missed a dateline on Friday, to answer civil breach of contract and elder financial abuse case scheduled for trial two months ago but was too sickly mentally, emotionally inexperienced to represent myself and case vacated. Judge requested to submit reasons why it should not be dismissed by 10/10/25. The hearing is set for 10/22/25 for final decision. Was sickly and unsure what to include and could not get help.
Unable to hire another atty. How to ask Judge for forgiveness for missing dateline and drop in the motion in the morning with request to open case for jury trial early 2026 when more prepared and not sickly mentally and emotionally because of recent elder financial scam. Any directions?
Thank you very much, just joined again as forgotten about your course
In such situations it is usually a good idea to file a WRITTEN motion moving the court for an order permitting you to be heard, explaining (1) your inability was “reasonable” under the circumstance and (2) explaining why the court should believe you have a reasonable chance of winning the case. DO NOT MISS THE NEXT HEARING.
